We do not have a PLC program for a dual arm tool changer.
When requesting support, please ALWAYS post a current report. Find out how to take a report from your Acorn, CNC11 or CNC10 system here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecvg0VJp1oQ.

If your question is PLC, Macro or program related, please also post a copy of the program or macro as well.

Without the above information we may not be able to help and/or reply until the required information is posted..

Yes single arm with tool holder at each end.
I've always heard them referred to as "dual arm".
It's on a 2003 fadal 4525.

typically that is what we call a "swing arm" tool changer. and yep we have both schematics and plc programs for swing arm tool changers.
when the centroid cnc software is first installed on the CNCPC it ask the installer to choose a starter PLC program, in that list of many PLC programs you will find several swing arm atc plc pograms.
